Obama Camp Denies Involvement With Winner Smear Video; Blames McCain

I think they're lying. I think they produced this video in house, then realized what a stinking pile of lies it was, and so coudn't run it themselves.

So they sent it to their friends (and colleagues) at Winner & Associates and told them "Take it viral."

And Ethan Winner passed it to his friend Geekesque to spread on Daily Kos. (Geekesque denies this, incidentally: But not convincingly. Athough he's pretty afraid I'll out him (though I won't, and I told him so), when I tell him how I know he's in LA, a quarter of a mile from Winner & Associates, he tells me no, check my IP, I'm in New York -- strange that someone wanting to protect his identity would try to bluff me off out of the wrong city and put me on track as to the right city.)

Whether the above can be proved, I don't know. But their voice-over woman sounds exactly like Axelrod's.

As far as McCain's involvement: Let me personally say I myself tried to get help from anyone in the McCain camp -- just the name of a lawyer who might help -- and got no response at all. I only wrote because Rusty had told me "they never answered me." So I figured I, Conservative Blogger of the Year Ace of Spades, could get an answer.

None.

So the people responsibe for the orginal smear are now making fresh smears.

Ethan Winner has not explained to us who his Mystery Voice-Over Woman is. Of course he will not. He can't.

Geekesque, by the way, has shut down his viral smeal internet group.

Odd that all the rats have abandoned ship at pretty much the exact same time.
